- step S100 When the staff operates the operation unit of the banknote processing apparatus 10 or the reception terminal connected to the banknote processing apparatus 10 to select a deposit transaction, the control unit 70 receives an instruction of the selected deposit transaction (step) S102).
- control unit 70 opens the deposit port shutter 13 so that the staff can insert banknotes into the deposit port 12 (step S104). Then, the control unit 70 maintains a bill insertion waiting state in which the deposit port shutter 13 is open and the withdrawal port shutter 19 is closed (step S106). In this bill insertion waiting state, the staff can insert a bill into the deposit port 12.
- step S108 When it is detected that a bill has been inserted into the deposit port 12 (step S108: Yes), the control unit 70 closes the deposit port shutter 13 (step S110). Next, the control part 70 performs the counting process of a deposited banknote (step S112). That is, the control unit 70 discriminates the banknotes fed out from the deposit port 12 by the banknote recognition unit 20, and transports the banknotes to the transport destination based on the discrimination result.
- the staff can temporarily stop the counting process being executed, and can restart the counting process after the pause.
- the staff temporarily stops or restarts the counting process by operating an operation unit of the banknote processing apparatus 10 or a reception terminal connected to the banknote processing apparatus 10 (for example, pressing a button).
- the factor that causes the counting process to be temporarily stopped is not limited to the case where the counting process is stopped by the staff. For example, when all the bills inserted into the deposit slot 12 are transported (deposit slot Empty), when reject banknotes cannot be transported (reject banknotes cannot be transported), or when banknotes cannot be transported to the temporary storage unit 22 (Temporary holding part cannot be transported) also causes the counting process to pause.
- control unit 70 detects that the counting process is temporarily stopped due to any of the above factors (step S114: Yes), it processes the operations of the deposit port shutter 13 and the withdrawal port shutter 19 in parallel. That is, the control unit 70 opens the deposit port shutter 13 (step S116). Further, the control unit 70 determines whether or not reject banknotes are accumulated in the withdrawal port 18 (step S118). If reject banknotes are accumulated in the withdrawal port 18 in step S118 (Yes), The spout shutter 19 is opened (step S120).

次に、図17~図20を参照しながら、第4の実施形態に係る入金処理例について説明する。
ステップS122における計数処理の停止要因が入金口Emptyである場合の処理について、図18のフローチャートを参照しながら説明する。ここでは、図5に示すフローチャートと異なる部分を中心に説明する。
ステップS122における計数処理の停止要因が、計数処理停止要求、又はリジェクト紙幣搬送不可である場合には、前述した図6のフローチャートに示す処理が実行される。このため、詳細な説明は省略する。
ステップS122における計数処理の停止要因が一時保留部搬送不可である場合の処理について、図19及び図20のフローチャートを参照しながら説明する。ここでは、図7に示すフローチャートと異なる部分を中心に説明する。
上述した実施形態に係る紙幣処理装置10は、紙幣の搬送中に搬送を停止させる停止事象(例えば、計数処理の停止要因)が発生した場合には、入金口シャッタ13を開け、又は入金口シャッタ13を手動で開くことができる閉状態にする。
